Path to Heaven

Old Ancestor Zhang’s expression sank as his facial muscles distorted slightly. Still, it quickly restored to normal.

With his current cultivation, he was definitely faster than Wei Suo in mounting a sneak attack of his artifact. Instead, Wei Suo was the one who activated the Divine Six-Suns Firefork first.

As six radiating suns scorched in, a golden firelight soared towards Old Ancestor Zhang.

“No wonder you dare to commit murder in Perching Phoenix City. However, you are still lacking if you wish to compete with me. Who is Old Devil Qin to you?”

Old Ancestor Zhang wasn’t flustered at all. He was long prepared and even shut his eyes while lazily saying those words. He didn’t summon any defensive artifact either, but continued to channel his black ancient mirror artifact.

The ancient mirror screen was only the size of a palm, but its back revealed a peculiar talismanic pattern of a cobweb. Following his unceasing stream of true energy, the black beam transformed into countless thin threads that danced around in the air, before swarming towards the Divine Six-Suns Firefork that was merely 10 meters away.

“No way?”

To Wei Suo’s horror, although the Divine Six-Suns Firefork directly incinerated those black threads to ashes, after bypassing 3 meters of insane masses of black threads, the Divine Six-Suns Firefork came to an abrupt, tangled halt in mid-air. It looked as though the black threads had captured it.

Witnessing this scene, Wei Suo hastily activated Granny Jin’s Rushing Thunder Mallet.

Boom! A sonorous boom occurred as a golden lightning bolted down and blasted a portion of black threads away, allowing the Divine Six-Suns Firefork to return.

Consecutively, Old Ancestor Zhang smiled coldly and lazily summoned a snow artifact shield that oozed with thick frosty aura. Following that, he made seals with his hands and a splendorous yellow cloud more than 10 metres in size appeared above Wei Suo.

Wei Suo glanced up sullenly and noticed the incessant crackling of this splendorous yellow cloud. Inches of lightning currents could be vaguely seen, and droplets of golden aqua lightning came dripping down like rainwater.

Sensing something was amiss, Wei Suo immediately conjured a firecloud beneath his feet and sped off; attempting to leave the range of that yellow cloud.

Yet as his body shifted, the splendorous yellow cloud miraculously tailed him, and around 15 meters away, droplets of golden aqua lightning continued to drip down.

Pop!

When a drop of yellow aqua lightning fell into Wei Suo’s outermost divine light screen, the screen instantly flashed brightly and shattered.

“Pop!”

Following the second droplet of aqua lightning, Wei Suo’s next layer of divine light screen shattered without any resistance.

Seeing this, Wei Suo’s pupils contracted as he immediately produced his set of red artifact shields.

After his ventures at Cyan Wind Mound and Sky Valley, Wei Suo had acquired loads of divine light screen artifacts. The divine light artifacts in his possessions now were all his elite choices, and each could withstand the might of Half-Spirit Class artifacts.

However, these divine light screens couldn’t block even a droplet of aqua lightning. Evidently, the droplets of aqua lightning even surpassed the might of a low-grade Sprit Class artifact.

One could accurately fathom the power of Old Ancestor Zhang’s skill technique, especially with his strength at the Thought Division Stage level 4 due to the effects of the Heaven’s Path Pellet.

Twenty ruby artifact shields appeared and segregated into three layers that encircled around Wei Suo.

Meanwhile, Wei Suo feigned that he was soaring to left, but abruptly diverted towards the right.

The reason for doing so was to attempt to shrug off the yellow thunder cloud. Even with these set artifact shields, they could only last for a period and he still had to escape the attacking scope of this yellow cloud.

Instead, his expression turned immeasurably hideous as his feigned movement failed. Wherever he moved, that yellow cloud followed him above his head like a shadow.

Pop! Pop! Pop! In that brief moment, three of the outermost layer of red shields dimmed and fell.

Throughout this period, Old Ancestor Zhang didn’t cast any other artifacts. He merely observed with a pair of sly but interested eyes, as though mocking the fleeing Wei Suo.

“Can’t believe he actually has a set artifact shield.”

Witnessing the three destroyed shields while the others were seemingly unaffected, a look of surprise surfaced on Old Ancestor Zhang’s face. Nevertheless, he still laughed conceitedly as he watched Wei Suo escape.

“My Chasing Thunder Cloud is like a thundercloud that chases a cultivator automatically by the cultivator’s interaction with the air. Regardless of feign or real movements, it will follow you wherever you go. There’s only on method to stop it from chasing you, that is to stand still.”

“Stand still?” Wei Suo was stumped. He almost believed the old man was being nice by revealing the dispelling method, but immediately cursed out, “Darn old man, your feces colored thundercloud is excreting all over my head, even If I stand still, it will still shit on me!”

“Quite smart, understanding so quickly.” Old Ancestor Zhang laughed and replied, “I just didn’t want you to waste your energy in vain, just be obedient and die.”

“Damn old man, you really don’t want to accept my bribe?” Wei Suo called out. “Besides, there aren’t any witnesses, if you let me go, we can still be good brothers in the future. Moreover, if you don’t spare me, my set artifact shields will still be destroyed before I die. You can’t have anything. How ’bout this, I’ll give you the set artifact shields and even tell you the forging method to create it. Think about it, you won’t lose out at all.”

“Forging method for set artifact shields?” Old Ancestor Zhang was slightly fazed.

He was indeed rather moved by Wei Suo’s words. Moreover, he could tell that each of the artifact shield in that set had a defensive strength of above Half-Spirit Class. The overall stacking strength of the set artifact shield was evidently better than a genuine low-grade Spirit Class defensive artifact shield.

But while he was hesitating slightly… Puchi! A transparent ripple struck the back of his head and caused his body to stiffen.

“Damn old man! Die!”

Seizing the opportunity paved by his divine sense assault, Wei Suo yelled out and activated his Divine Six-Suns Firefork.

Facing an existence of a much higher cultivation, even if Old Ancestor Zhang was moved and accepted his bribe, Wei Suo wouldn’t trust him in this transaction either.

“Courting death!”

Old Ancestor Zhang didn’t predict that Wei Suo would mount a sneak attack. His eyes burned with agony but his countenance remained exceedingly icy.

Without panicking, Old Ancestor Zhang pointed at the floating black mirror in front. Consecutively, a cyan light shot out from his sleeve. It was actually a cyan scissor-like artifact that surged towards Wei Suo.

Black threads poured out turbulently from the black mirror again and trapped the Divine Six-Suns Firefork in mid-air.

Pa! Pa! Pa! The cyan scissors artifact cut through the first layer of the ruby artifact shield, followed by the second and the third, before striking Wei Suo’s Scarlet Shell Shield and cracked the shield.

The power of this cyan scissors artifact wasn’t inferior to the Divine Six-Suns Firefork at all.

Shua! Wei Suo’s complexion turned incomparably pale.

Despite so, Wei Suo didn’t delay to produce a silver short staff.

When the Mid-grade Spirit Class cyan scissor artifact was flying back, a loud bang resounded as a black light bolted out from Wei Suo’s silver staff and struck the scissor-like artifact.

“Chi! Chi!”

White fumes spiralled excessively from the cyan scissor as its divine light dimmed. Evidently, it sustained some damage which caused the Old Ancestor Zhang’s countenance to fall tremendously.

“Rascal, you dare destroy my artifact! Then I shall plunder your artifact first!”

Following his furious exclamation, Old Ancestor Zhang channelled in his true energy crazily.

The brilliance exuding out from the Divine Six-Suns Firefork was extinguished as black threads engulfed it; attempting to suck it into the black mirror.

“Plunder your head!”

Sou! Wei Suo emotionlessly kept his silver short staff as a black beam jetted towards Old Ancestor Zhang.

“Only a Half-Spirit Class artifact and you want to harm me?”

Old Ancestor Zhang issued a spiteful glance at the incoming tiny black dagger. He didn’t try to do anything but allowed the tiny dagger to collide into his white artifact shield. Following that, the tiny black dagger was instantly frozen by the white artifact shield.

All of a sudden, a blood pearl congealed at the tip of the tiny black dagger, which caused the old man’s face to turn extremely pale.

PA! The true Spirit Class Millenia Arcane Ice Shield directly shattered into pieces!

Immediately after, Old Ancestor Zhang’s right arm radiated out with white ice crystals as he grabbed the blood pearl.

Piank!

Old Ancestor Zhang’s entire right arm disappeared into thin air.

Simultaneously, he spat out a white ray that soared towards Wei Suo.

PA! Wei Suo’s Scarlet Shell Shield directly fragmented into pieces, allowing the white ray to hit Wei Suo with unstoppable momentum!
